I graduated from the University of San Diego with a BA in art history and a minor in visual arts in 2015. Soon after, I hopped over to London to complete my MA at the Courtauld Institute of Art, focusing on 1900 through mid-century art + design (Bauhaus anyone?). Along the way, I dabbled in subjects from creative advertising to art law to deducing the perfect formula for mastering standby travel.  However, no matter what I studied or where I flew, I would always find myself buried back in Illustrator. Since, I have returned to my home in Southern California to pursue branding work full-time (and still curing the travel bug when I can).

Archaeology Design has grown out of this lifelong submersion into studying all things visual: fine arts, advertising, film, art history – you name it – as well as a penchant for philosophy and problem solving. For me, the design process has always been akin to the archaeological search: uncovering something new through both historical and contemporary contexts – as well as advanced visual analysis – in order to assign purposeful meaning in our contemporary world. In this way, we can create solutions that communicate effectively but also offer new lenses: design that is undoubedtly modern while remaining timeless.

When I'm not browsing typefaces or making my usual museum rounds, I can probably be found burying myself in French new wave films, perfecting my morning disco playlist or researching a future trip abroad.
